ANAHEIM – A suspected drunk driver crashed her Toyota sedan into the bedroom wall of a home early Sunday morning, jolting three residents awake.

Anaheim Police arrested the woman on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to Sgt. Bob Dunn. Nobody was injured in the crash.

Emergency crews responded to the white one-story home at the intersection of Ball Road and Freemont Street around 3 a.m. They found the vehicle had broken through a low brick wall, careened across the front lawn and into the home's exterior wall.

The car caught fire and scarred the outside of the home, but the fire did not spread much inside the bedrooms, Dunn said.

The driver was booked at the Anaheim jail. Her name was not immediately available.
